DZG-001: Periodically getting dropped from servers, or servers time out in DZGUI DZG-001: Timeouts occur while trying to query a specific server
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DayZ opens a large number of connections while querying/connected to servers. The leading cause of specific servers periodically timing out is local network configuration.
Many third-party DayZ servers use a server rental/hosting provider with DDoS protection.
This can cause responses from servers to originate from a server other than the one originally queried.
Consumer-grade routers are likely to drop this traffic as invalid due to how they handle NAT (network address translation).
By contrast, wireless routers and enterprise-grade routers may be less likely to have this issue.
If you find that a specific server is unresponsive for you when it shouldn't be, add a port forwarding rule to your router's settings for
the server's query port.
In addition, packets sent from server responses are expected to be a standard size (see warning below). In addition, packets sent from server responses are expected to be a standard size (see warning below).
Deviation from this may cause your router to discard incoming responses from the server.
If your network does not have enough headroom or has settings departing from defaults, this may lead to getting dropped from servers,
unresponsiveness, or a timeout.
If you are on Wi-Fi, try switching to a wired connection and see if the problem resolves itself. Consumer Wi-Fi routers
tend to have less headroom than their wired counterparts.

DZG-008: Periodically getting dropped from servers while connected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In some cases, DayZ opens a large number of connections while connected to servers.
If your network does not have enough headroom or has settings departing from defaults, this may lead to getting dropped from servers,
unresponsiveness, or a timeout.
If you are on Wi-Fi, try switching to a wired connection and see if the problem resolves itself. Consumer Wi-Fi routers
tend to have less headroom for simultaneous connections than their wired counterparts.
DZG-009: Floating dialogs appear maximized on tiling window managers
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The main DZGUI window and its child dialogs are expected to be rendered as floating by your window manager.
DZGUI sends window manager hints to this effect, but tiling window managers designed to bisect the screen into quadrants (e.g., i3 window manager)
may try to always launch applications in fullscreen.
To resolve this, set specific exclusions or window hints in your WM's configuration file.
For example, for i3, add the following to your `XDG_CONFIG_HOME/i3/config` file (defaults to `$HOME/.config/i3/config`):
.. code:: console
for_window [instance="DZGUI"] floating enable, move position center
for_window [instance="DZGUI - Dialog"] floating enable, move position center
